I agree with this. And we can all always point fingers elsewhere. But if we fail to strive to make positive differences, where does this leave us?
There is a lot to be done about promoting good parenting skills (this happens to be one of my current jobs) and there is a lot to be done in the realm of educational reform (it breaks my heart to stand in a classroom and watch kids have to sit and learn how to pass really lame standardized tests instead of learning how to think and be constructive).
But I will maintain that if one can't have positive regard for those with whom you work, there can't be any positive progress. It's precluded. And that's all I'm saying. Without hope, what's left?
